This repository contains the following replication files:

1.---data------------------------------------------
This subfolder contains the raw data from all data collections (as csv.-files), including:
audit data study 1
audit data study 2
survey experiment data from study 3 both US and UK samples (separate files)
survey experiment datafrom study 4


2.---R scripts------------------------------------------
All R scrips files (.R) contain the R code used for all data transformations and analyses on the raw data as
reported in the manuscript. 
There is a separate code for each study.
Each script comes with an outline and annotations documenting what hypotheses are being tested.
When using r studio, display content outline with Ctrl + Shift + O.
Each of the scripts produces Tables and Figures into the subfolder "outputs" that start with the name "StudyX" where
X is the number of the study.

NOTE 1: At the beginning of each script, the user needs to set the working directory to the source in which the "replication files"
are stored locally.

NOTE 2: The code for study 4 involves many mediation models with 10k iterations for bootsrapping. This can take a while.
Alternatively, the user can also load the saved image "Study4_AllMediationModels.RData" from the output to get access to all mediation models.


3.---Outputs---------------------------------------------------------
This folder contains all the outputs from running the four R Codes.
Each of the scripts produces Tables and Figures into the subfolder "outputs" that start with the name "StudyX" where
X is the number of the study.
The naming of the outputs refer to the number of Figure or Table in the main manuscript and the Online Appendix.


4.---SessionInfo.txt-----------------------------------------------
This file contains the details on the R session used for the analysis.
This includes the version of R and all used packages.
Note that some packages may undergo changes leading to minor changes in the R code.
